i'm just wondering the logic behind why public official susan rice, general petraeus and the president would lie knowing full well that the truth would ultimately come out and the alternate explanation is they were given wrong intelligence and they would have been more suspicious of that intelligence and perhaps they spun the intelligence they were given, but couldn't it just be a matter of wrong intelligence as we've seen before? >> i think it is less likely that there is incompetence at the cia and incompetence at the national security council that they -- that they ended up giving the president of the united states false information. i think there is less likelihood of that than if the president was in battle mode and in the middle of a campaign and felt that any type of things that made it look like the islamic threat, the radical -- the radical islamic threat is still upon us would be harmful to him politically. so i can't say that was his motive. i don't know what was going on in his head, but it's not likely that the national security council and the cia didn't do their job, thu
